NBA notebook: Wolves add PG Rose for rest of season

Derrick Rose signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday, reuniting
with former coach Tom Thibodeau for the remainder of the season.

With the Wolves, Rose will also play alongside former Chicago teammates Jimmy
Butler and Taj Gibson. The trio were all members of the Bulls under Thibodeau
as coach from 2011-15.

Rose became a free agent when he was released by the Jazz following a trade to
Utah from the Cleveland Cavaliers last month. Rose appeared in 16 games (seven
starts) for the Cavs this season, averaging 9.8 points per game while missing
an extended period of time with a nagging ankle injury.

In his time with the Bulls, Rose was a three-time All-Star and was named the
NBA MVP in Thibodeau's first season in 2010-11. Health issues, including
multiple knee surgeries, have impacted Rose's career. He took a sabbatical
from the Cavaliers and weighed retirement before ultimately deciding to rejoin
the team.

--All Chris Bosh is hoping for in his attempt at making an NBA comeback is for
a team to take a chance on him. And he is at peace if that doesn't happen.

Bosh, 33, said in a TV appearance on ESPN last month that he wants to resume
his basketball career two years after medical issues forced him to the
sidelines. He opened up further on the matter as part of a lengthy interview
with ESPN's Jackie MacMullan published Thursday.

"I'm going to give (playing) one more shot," Bosh said. "That's all it is -- a
shot. I'm at a space in my life where I see gifts I've been given, and if it
ends, it's been a helluva ride. I did more than I'd ever think I'd do."

Bosh, an 11-time NBA All-Star, was found to have a blood clot in his lungs in
February 2015, bringing his season to an end. He returned in 2016 and was
voted to the All-Star Game before a blood clot was found in his leg in
February, and Bosh has not played since.

--As the New Orleans Pelicans look for their 11th consecutive win on Friday
night, they might be forced to face the Washington Wizards without All-Star
forward Anthony Davis, who has an injured ankle.

According to an ESPN report, Davis is day-to-day and listed as doubtful for
the Friday game in D.C. The 24-year-old rolled his left ankle late in the
third quarter of Wednesday night's win over the Sacramento Kings and did not
return.

Davis has missed six previous games this season, with the Pelicans going 3-3
in his absence.
